Challenges

Provide innovative solutions for hydrogen use and CO2 emission reduction 

Improving methane production by catalytic methanation: optimising activity, methane selectivity and long-term catalyst stability

Duration

3 years: provisional calendar defined by the region from 1 November 2021 to 31 January 2025

Goals and Benefits

Optimising catalysts for the methanation reaction with pilot validation:

Small scale catalyst synthesis and evaluation in micro / semi pilot -> identify 3 promising catalyst formulations

Scale up with pilot reactor testing and long term evaluation of catalytic performance

Final results will be the starting point for the development of an industrial site pilot
